I just came across this and thought I'd share. I've struggled to get headers and IC's off boards after soldering them on backwards/upside down. This video shows a cool trick with a piece of copper wire that makes them very easy and quick to get off without expensive tooling. I was thoroughly impressed. Hope someone else finds this useful too.

I was ready to shit on this but I could definetely see some uses when there are a lot of through hole pins. I'd be a little worried about keeping the heat distribution even though.
